Publisher's summary

If you want to know how you can play your way to personal success, then keep reading.

As our world gets busier, we are inundated with the complexities of life, and as we grow up, we forget to play and have fun. Life Lessons from a Bouncing Ball is a much-needed reminder that play is not just for kids. Apart from stimulating joy and enhancing relaxation, play boosts our creativity and imagination and positively impacts our relationships and personal success.

The importance of play for children is well-documented. Now researchers have turned their attention to its possible benefits for adults. What they’re finding is that play isn’t just about having fun; it can also be an important means of reducing stress and enhancing our overall well-being.

“At work, play has been found to speed up learning, enhance productivity, and increase job satisfaction; and at home, playing together, like going to a movie or a concert, can enhance bonding and communication". (Lynn Barnett, professor of recreation, sports and tourism, University of Illinois).

Hard work brings success, and so does play! In this audiobook, you’ll discover:

• Why “play” is the new “work”
• How play can reinvigorate your imagination
• How to use clichés to increase productivity
• The most overlooked quintessential principles for personal success
• Fourteen unsuspecting principles hiding in plain sight
• How to boost confidence and creativity by embracing the inner child
• How to skip the race and still win

Personal success is subjective and ever-changing. You can learn lessons through play even if you think you don’t know how to play. The strategies are creative and can be adapted, even if you are playing alone. After listening to this audiobook, you’ll never look at play in the same way again.

Amazing how simple things can teach you so much

Thanks Andrea for sharing this audiobook. I really like the content of your audiobook. I agree with you playing can teach kids, parents and grownups a lot of incredible things.

I recommend this book to everyone!

Embrace your inner child

If like me you easily get caught up with the busyness of being an adult and have a hard time taking time out, you will benefit from this book. I enjoyed so much about it, but especially learning things about play that used to be so obvious as a child but that I thought I'd outgrown. This is a gem.

Life in a different perspective

When we become adults, we are instilled with the notion that we must assume control over as much things as they can. But this book parallels following life in the sense of how a child would. We can only control as much as we are allowed to, and life should be what you make of it. We only have so many days to live, and not everything has to do stoic and serious. Like a ball, we have highs and lows, but we take what we can and make the most of it. Listen to this book. And listen again.

INSIGHTFUL!!

This guide is a refreshing reminder that play is crucial for adults too. I learned how play can reduce stress, boost creativity, and improve relationships both at work and home. It highlights the benefits of incorporating play into work and home life, emphasizing increased learning, productivity, and bonding. I appreciate the focus on embracing the inner child to enhance confidence and imagination, as well as the emphasis on enjoying the journey to success rather than just focusing on the end goal. Highly recommended!

Amazing Life Lessons!

I enjoyed listening to this book since it discusses life lessons that people encounter. It reminded me of some of the difficulties I faced as a child, but I always managed to get through them. I also learned from my life's blunders. I strongly advise people to get this book in order to understand about life lessons and how to overcome them.

A different take on life

A person's life path is not all the same for everyone. I do agree that laughter and a better mood promotes better learning. these days people find solice in technology instead of adventuring and socialized in the real world. Th book is good to realize having fun is more beneficial.

Uplifting

This book will show you that play is not just for kids. It can actually help adults succeed in life. It talks about how playing can boost creativity, reduce stress, and improve relationships. The book explains how play can enhance learning, productivity, and overall well-being. It shares practical tips on using play to unlock hidden principles for personal success. After listening to this audiobook, you will see play in a new way and feel inspired to bring more fun and playfulness into your life, especially in this era where it seems that everyone is in the hustle and bustle.

Really insightful business and leadership insights

I loved this book's content, insights about the importance of play, quiet reflective moments, and familial bonds. I would have preferred a female voice to read it, so reduced my rating on performance by 1 star.

Refreshing!

I loved all of the inspirational quotes included with the chapters and was impressed by the depth of the analysis of these chapters. There was so much to grasp and many times I had to rewind because something really caught my attention. Very nice book!
